CARSON, Calif. – Giovani dos Santos walked off the field after the LA Galaxy’s final match of the 2017 campaign frustrated.
What he expected to be a banner season for his club and himself was reduced to dust as the Galaxy limped to their worst campaign in club history, while he finished with just six goals and three assists in 25 matches. The team's poor showing led to a significant reshuffling at StubHub Center that saw head coach Sigi Schmid almost wholly reshape the Galaxy roster this offseason.
Although the 2017 season may have been a wash for Los Angeles, dos Santos believes that the adversity prepared him for the year ahead.
